The Success of Putin´s Operation Mindfuck

 

In the same way as I was surprised over how suddenly we saw the potential violent aspects of New Age coming into expression with the storm of Capitol Hill (see my article: How the Corona Crisis Has Exposed New Age as a Potential Violent Movement), we also now see how the aspects of, what I in past texts has called "Putin´s Destabilization Programs", suddenly now have exploded in concrete war and progaganda.

In my article, Yuval Noah Harari: A Neoliberal Marionette Puppet in the Dance Between Surveillance Capitalism and Chinese Communism, I wrote about Russia as an active player in the systematic destabilization of the Western World (a destabilization project you can trace back to The Godgame). I wrote about how Russia also uses new technologies such as cyberattacks and fake news. And that they even have a special action group called 29155. It is a topsecret unity of agents specialized in “destabilization” in foreign countries. In the Spanish newspaper, El País, there was an article called Western intelligence services tracked Russian spy in Catalonia. The subtitle is:

Spain’s High Court is investigating whether a GRU official named Denis Sergeev, who carried out subversive actions across Europe and Asia, also tried to destabilize the region during its 2017 independence drive.
 
In October 2019, New York Times brought an article called, Top Secret Russian Unit Seeks to Destabilize Europe, Security Officials Say. It begins:
 
First came a destabilization campaign in Moldova, followed by the poisoning of an arms dealer in Bulgaria and then a thwarted coup in Montenegro. Last year, there was an attempt to assassinate a former Russian spy in Britain using a nerve agent. Though the operations bore the fingerprints of Russia’s intelligence services, the authorities initially saw them as isolated, unconnected attacks.
 
Western security officials have now concluded that these operations, and potentially many others, are part of a coordinated and ongoing campaign to destabilize Europe, executed by an elite unit inside the Russian intelligence system skilled in subversion, sabotage and assassination.
 
If you believe that most people now understand the above, I dare to claim that you are wrong. The Godgame is far more sinister. Read more below the image.

 

The concept of Putinversteher (a complete new Wikipedia post), is about Western people - originating in Germany -  who "understands Putin". It is a phenomena which is closely related to what I above called the destabilization of the Western countries. The concept of Putinversteher can also be called the most eye-catching manifestation of what Francis Fukuyama calls the post-factual society, created by postmodernism, completely with post-truths, disinformation, fake news, conspiracy theories, manufactured controversy, etc., etc.

Examples of Putinverstehers: Ulrike Guérot, who pseudoscientifically claims that it is "documented" and "scientifically verified" that it was Ukraine that provoked Russia - see her book Endspiel Europa. Not surprisingly, her inspiration is an American political "scientist", John Mearsheimer. He has written the article: Why the Ukraine Crisis Is the West´s Fault).

In my article, A Critique of Donald Trump (which, with the criminal case against him, has become highly relevant again), I wrote about the post-factual situation in America, that has influenced the concept of Putinverstehers. So, this is a direct counter-view of how America, according to Putinverstehers, is influencing the world. 

As usual, what I want people to investigate is the philosophies lying behind concrete worldviews, in this case: postmodernism. With an expression lend from Lenin, Putinverstehers could be called: Useful Idiots.
